I wanted to take a minute and say thank you guys for reading! This has been a joy. Writing about my family's misadventures, with some added embellishment and humor, has been a big help as the family transitions from a family of two, to a family of four.

I also wanted to touch on the subject of ads. I know they might not seem like a big deal, since ads are unavoidable, but I've been thinking about them a lot. I know the internet is plastered with pop-ups and banners, and all manner of crap. But this site is my little slice of the internet. It's a reflection of me and my writing, and I want to keep it as tidy as possible.

As you can see there is a big old Diapers.com ad on the home page. I dig that ad, because Diapers.com is great. My wife and I use the site, the iPhone app, the whole bit. We had a diaper shower and encouraged people who couldn't attend to send Diapers.com e-gift cards. My point is: Diapers.com ads belong on this site because I think it's a fantastic service and it will be helpful to other readers. Please click on the ad and buy some cool stuff for your kid or for your next baby shower. I get a little commission from every purchase you make and get to be affiliated with a great business.

Just know that I if an ad appears on the site, it's something I have picked, and that I think you will find useful or entertaining.
